A Note About Our Achievements
Over 14,000 Spay/Neuters completed in less than seven years! On November 3, 2023, Tails of Hope spayed/neutered it's 14,000th animal since our doors opened in 2017.
Milestones & Statistics measure the work we do and the need to do more. However, we are always mindful that behind these numbers are cats, dogs, generations of litters, and their human guardians and families.
Only by working together as a community can we reduce the number of animals entering shelters or homelessness and boost the number of healthy animals leaving shelters and finding forever homes.
But we can’t do it without your help. Will you give?

Our Story
The Thomas M. O'Brien Animal Care Center, located at 2450 Hoezle Rd., Hermitage, PA 16148, is a project that began with a wish and a prayer to help the animal population in our community. In June of 2011, Thomas O'Brien passed away and his wife, Diane, and one of his brothers, Paul, joined together to fulfill this desire. Tom loved animals and was always willing to help them in any way. Due to his affection for his pet dogs, Paul and Diane thought it would be very appropriate to build an animal care center that would be able to eliminate neglect of the many animals in our community and to help control and prevent the pet overpopulation. The Animal Care Center project was completed in 2014 and soon after, the direction of the project became apparent. The idea for a non-profit spay/neuter clinic was established. In 2017, Tails of Hope opened to provide low- to no-cost services to animals in western PA and eastern OH.
